LONDON (AP) — Andrea Gaudenzi was re-elected as chairman of the ATP men's professional tennis tour on Thursday, giving him a third term that runs through 2028.
Gaudenzi, a former player, first took over the tour in January 2020. The ATP says total annual player compensation for tour-level events has climbed by $100 million during his tenure to roughly $270 million in 2025 — and to $400 million when Grand Slam tournaments are included.
“When I reflect on what we’ve achieved, I see a sport with stronger foundations than ever, underpinned by record growth that speaks to tennis’s potential,” Gaudenzi said in a statement. “Now is the time to keep pushing.”
Key changes during his time in charge have included adding profit-sharing at ATP Masters 1000 events and the introduction of 12-day Masters tournaments.
Saudi Arabia will host a new ATP Masters tournament, expected to debut in 2028 — the first addition to the men’s tennis tour’s premium series since its founding in 1990.
That move to add a 10th Masters event comes as players renew calls to reconsider a long and crowded schedule for the sport.
